Popular Post That Dude Posted March 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2023 10 hours ago, GDFan2019 said: Cavallo produced the Trilogy too, and I’ve had a theory that the Trilogy would’ve been much bigger without the iHeart incident and Billie’s rehab. I have always believed that about the Trilogy. The promotion was INSANE before I heart. Green Day were on every TV show, talk show. They were performing everywhere and there was going to be at least 3 singles from each album. Music videos. The records would have been spread apart instead of rush released. It's all about promotion. If Dookie had come out and there was no single, no video and no shows....Dookie would have flopped. That is exactly what happened with Dos and Tre. Even with an established name behind them, no promotion equals low sales. Even if they are bad, which they aren't....bad records top the charts all the time. Good or bad doesn't really go into the equation of success. 1972 needs a good promo. A HUGE lead single, like Blink-182's Edging. It will start the hype train. Heck, an acoustic single with strings wouldn't hurt either. There. I have added some substance to this sickly thread. I speculated. About 1972. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be officially through GD website, or does it vary? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Dookie, the thing that make it that big was Woodstock, before that the band was slowly growing, both on sales and public. After that, shit gone crazy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across all social media of the band, followed by coverage from other online articles. Not sure where the very first announcement will be, because once it's out, it's all over the place. #not1972 Could be called anything! I think it will be self titled, which kind of ties into "1972", which references the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say more, the iHeartRadio thing and post-BJ rehab, fucked up the Green Day carreer in the mainstream. After that, the band go to a low level in terms of promotion and popularity in comparison with 2004 - 2012. It seems that the level of investment in them as a band has diminished from all sides too, most notably from the record label. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many bands start out with self-titled album. GD always had title on their albums. Maybe just 'Green Day' as title of new album would be cool. And with cover having photo of band playing live would be special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Joe has suffered with anxiety issues all his life. As a fan it was a tad difficult to concentrate on the music, wondering if he'd be ok, and that there was still a future for the band. I just wanted to give him a big hug. Thankfully, he pulled through, and bounced back to write Rev Rad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand right, Kerplunk was the biggest selling record at that time for an indie label. A major label was the only option. Plus MTV plugging Dookie almost non stop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so scared because after they announced his rehab it was really silent about him or the band. I was „lucky“ when Adie posted a photo of him during the process a few days later. He looked really bad but smiled (with thumbs up I think?). Like she wanted to tell us everything‘s gonna be fine. I think „Still breathing“ described very good how serious his situation was. I hope he knows whatever the new album sounds like we will love them no matter what and he and the rest of the band doing fine. They released so many great records it would never change my love for Green Day even if they release bad music for the rest of their career. Plus they still put on a fantastic show which is more important to me 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDs, torrents, cassettes, and YouTube exist and it is a forgettable song so I’m not too worried. It depends... if you like quality sound, Youtube is not a good source.

The quality of a song can vary. I prefer AnyUTube site for downloading MP3 and MP4 from Youtube to computer or mobile phone. You can choose the quality level depending on what's available. From 240, up to 720, and 1080, plus HD and HQ. And now 1440 2k and 2160 4k. For audio add k after number and for video add p. There's a facility to change language and add subtitles. Love it.
